Like a broken bone when it’s cold outside, it may still sting a little bit some days. You will walk with wobbly legs at first until you are finally ready to get your feet back on the ground. But with time, you will do it. You will overcome this in the most graceful way possible.

One of the most complicated combination of feelings is being both tough and sensitive. You’ve been through so much and are pretty strong, but it doesn’t take much for you to worry or be upset over something someone did or said.
